This sounds very uplifting, but when I worked at an enormous corporation you've heard about we weren't allowed so much as to change my machine's time&date. Forget about installing anything. And even when I was able to improve anything (I got permission to install Python), there was a huge bureaucracy and permission had to be granted for anything. Just because you had an idea for improvement doesn't help if you have to mail a person on another continent, who must understand what you're doing and grant permission. It's not uncommon for company critical software to be written by a Russian guy who no longer works there.
